I read this as ask an onion question.
How do you prevent your eyes from dying when you chop onions?

goggles

This. I bought a cheap swim mask at the end of summer awhile back, works like a charm.

smear water beneath your eyes baseball player style. it catches the particles before they hit your eyes

or chop them underwater.

I just lean back so I'm not in the path of the onion fumes, tbh.

If you chill the onion first, it buys you some time. So, I refrigerate them and chop quickly!

It's not perfect (I've had tears from refrigerated onions) but it helps.

The only thing that helps better, besides goggles, is using frozen onions, but they're not good for everything (I wouldn't use them for salads).

don't prevent it. embrace the taste of your own saltly tears for there will be many more to come in your future.

Short answer is that it's almost impossible. But what helps is:

1) Chill the onion in the fridge for an hour or two.
2) Make sure your knife is nice and sharp, which it ought to be in the first place but so many people use dull knives. It's dangerous and makes it harder to cut things up, because you end up using more force than necesary.
3) Work on your knife skills so that chopping an onion takes less than 30 seconds, thereby limiting your exposure. It's entirely feasible.

Buy those pre-diced bags of onions. It's lazy as fuck, but it means some poor factory conveyor belt robot was crying instead of you!

Lol this.

I don't know if I'm just particularly sensitive to cutting onions but I can't get one slice in without bursting into salty, stinging tears. But I looove onion... so pre-diced onions it is for me.
